A Hard Medium Survey with ASCA. IV: the Radio-Loud Type 2 QSO AXJ0843+294 2

Abstract

We discuss the X-ray, optical and radio properties of AX J0843+2942, a high luminosity Type 2 AGN found in the ASCA Hard Serendipitous Survey. The X-ray spectrum is best described by an absorbed power-law model with photon index of Gamma = 1.72 (+0.3 -0.6) and intrinsic absorbing column density of NH = 1.44 (+0.33 -0.52) x 10E23 cm-2. The intrinsic luminosity in the 0.5-10 keV energy band is ~ 3x10E45 erg s-1, well within the range of quasar luminosities. AX J0843+2942, positionally coincident with the core of a triple and strong (S_1.4 GHz ~ 1 Jy; P_1.4 GHz ~ 9 x 10E33 erg s-1 Hz-1) radio source, is spectroscopically identified with a Narrow Line object (intrinsic FWHM of all the permitted emission lines <= 1200 km s-1) at z=0.398, having line features and ratios typical of Seyfert-2 like objects. The high X-ray luminosity, coupled with the high intrinsic absorption, the optical spectral properties and the radio power, allow us to propose AX J0843+2942 as a Radio-Loud "Type 2 QSO". A discussion of the SED of this object is presented here together with a comparison with the SED of Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies, other "Type 2 QSO" candidates from the literature, and "normal" Radio-Quiet and Radio-Loud QSOs.
